Starting a business comes with plenty of firsts—and taxes are usually one of the more confusing ones.

That's why we're inviting Timo to this week's betabreakfast to walk us through the tax basics every founder should know. Whether you're about to launch your company, already running one, or simply curious about what's involved, this session is designed to make the topic a little less intimidating.

Together we'll cover:

* what it actually takes to set up a GmbH,
* what abbreviations like **KSt**, **GewSt**, **SolZ** and **USt** really mean,
* which taxes might apply to your business (and when),
* the costs to expect when founding a company,
* and the important deadlines you'll want to keep on your radar.

As always, there'll be plenty of time to ask questions, meet fellow founders over breakfast, and learn from each other's experiences.

Come by, grab a coffee, and leave feeling a little more confident about one of the less glamorous—but very important—parts of building a business.

RSVP needed!

Before Slack starts pinging and your calendar fills up, take 30 minutes to slow down, breathe, and ease into the day with us.

Join us for Morning Reset, a relaxed guided session designed to help you feel more grounded, focused, and energised before work. Weather permitting, we'll meet on the terrace for a gentle mix of breathwork, mindful movement, and grounding practices—nothing complicated, just an easy way to reconnect with yourself before opening your laptop.

The session is led by Ling Shi, a Berlin-based burnout and women's health coach whose practical, welcoming approach combines nervous system science with Eastern wellbeing practices.

Together, we'll explore:

🌬️ Breathwork to wake up body and mind
✨ Gentle lymphatic tapping
🌿 Qi Gong-inspired movement
🧘 A short grounding meditation

No experience is needed, and there's nothing to bring—just yourself. Come in whatever you're already wearing for work.

Whether you're hoping to start the day with a little more energy, a clearer head, or simply enjoy a quiet moment before things get busy, you're very welcome to join us.

Please arrive a few minutes early so we can begin together. ⏰

We'll also share reminders in the Slack community channel each week.

We'd love to see you on Tuesday, RSVP needed 🌿

What if the best opportunities aren’t waiting to be discovered — but created through the people we meet, the conversations we have, and the ideas we share?

For this betabreakfast, we’re welcoming Darya Kamkalova, entrepreneur and startup ecosystem builder, for a morning around creating unexpected opportunities and making space for new connections.

In her talk, Darya will explore how serendipity can be something we actively create — by connecting with the right people, staying open to new perspectives, and creating moments where unexpected ideas and collaborations can happen.

Because at betahaus, we know that some of the most valuable opportunities often start with a simple conversation over coffee.

Join us for a morning of fresh ideas, familiar faces, and new connections. Whether you’re building something, exploring what’s next, or simply curious about where conversations can lead, you’re very welcome to join.

Grab a coffee, meet fellow members, and start your day with the community. ☕

We’re looking forward to seeing you there.

RSVP needed <3

The best part of betahaus has always been the community - the people who bring this place to life every day <3

On 2 September, we’d love to bring everyone together for a relaxed community lunch, good conversations, and time to reconnect after summer.

We’ll share some updates from the team, give you a look at what’s coming next for betahaus, and talk a bit about the future of our community - including what’s ahead with our new home at Dockyard.

But most importantly, this lunch is about you: the people who make betahaus what it is. It’s a chance to catch up with familiar faces, meet other members, ask questions, and spend some time together outside of the usual workday.

Whether you’ve been part of the community for years or just recently joined, we’d love to have you there.

Come by for lunch, grab some pizza, and join the conversation. 🍕

If you can’t make it in person, you’ll also have the option to join remotely.

RSVP, as always, needed :)
